Okay, so I am 18, and I have a prescription to 40mg of Adderall. My parents however are very strict and refuse to trust me with my own prescription and keep it locked up. Do I legally hold the right to refuse them that ability and hold onto my own medication?
I am on their insurance and currently they do pay for the medication, but does that change anything? And if I pay for my own prescription while still on their insurance, does that take away any possible right they may have to hold onto my prescription and deny me access to it?

I’m not sure in the U.S. as you’re not considered completely an adult till you’re like 21 there. Over here in the U.K. you would be at the age of 18. I think if they are paying for it thought it’s their property (although I’m not really sure). Do you have anything like a “Citizens Advice Bureau” over their that you can call and ask questions like this?

I would suggest asking on a forum where the predominant clientele is in the US, as over here we have the NHS so once 16 we can have medication without our parents knowledge

It sounds different over there as Daft says it may remain your parents property as it in on their insurance and they are paying
